Tom: G#m

B D#m E G

[Verse 1]
B                            D#m                      E
  I can't walk down these streets and see all these signs
                  G
Without you on my mind
B                     D#m                E
  Remembering all the days, the New York cliches
                      G
Those late downtown nights


[Pre-Chorus]
B                     D#m                 E
You're everywhere I go, I can't help but notice
                          G
I wouldn't know you if I'd never come here


[Chorus]
        E                    D#    G#m
I lie awake in the city that never sleeps
                          B
Tryna forget about you and me
         D#             E
But it's all that I can see
E                           D#     G#m
I lie awake in the city of broken dreams
                           B
The city of how we used to be
              D#       E
Wish I could see it differently
  B                           E
Oh, but it's covered in you and me
     E
I guess I won't be getting any sleep

'Til I leave


[Verse 2]
 B                    D#m                   E
I can't focus like I should, my vision's obscured
                   G
By fuckin' memory lane, oh
 B                       D#m           E
Suppose the work does me good, but I'd go if I could
                         G              Emaj7
'Cause it don't feel the same to lie awake


[Chorus]
                   D#    G#m
In the city that never sleeps
                           B
Tryna forget about you and me
          D#             E
But it's all that I can see
E                            D#
I lie awake in the city of broken dreams
G#m                        B
The city of how we used to be
              D#             E
Wish I could see it differently
  B                              E
Oh, but it's covered in you and me
    B                  D#        E
I guess I won't be getting any sleep

'Til I leave
D#m       E
'Til I leave


[Bridge]
           C#m        F#7
Darkness falls under all of the lights
            B                    G#m
Got that Empire State playin' tricks on my mind
C#m7                      F#7
You and your ghost follow me through the night
B             E
It haunts me inside
      B               E
I just can't close my eyes


[Outro]
                              D#    G#m
I lie awake in the city that never sleeps (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
                          B
Tryna forget about you and me
          D#             E
But it's all that I can see (All that I can see)
E                          D#       G#m
I lie awake in the city of broken dreams
                           B
The city of how we used to be (How we used to be, yeah, yeah)
                     D#     E
Wish I could see it differently
  B                             E
Oh, but it's covered in you and me
    B                       D#       E
I guess I won't be getting any sleep
